HD Radio, which originally stood for "Hybrid Digital", is the trademark for iBiquity's in-band on-channel (IBOC) digital radio technology used by AM and FM radio stations to transmit audio and data via a digital signal in conjunction with their analog signals. It was selected by the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2002 as a digital audio broadcasting method for the United States, and is the only digital system approved by the FCC for digital AM/FM broadcasts in the United States. It is officially known as NRSC-5, with the latest version being NRSC-5B. Other digital radio systems include FMeXtra, Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) (Eureka 147), Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM30 and DRM+ configurations), and Compatible AM-Digital (CAM-D).
As a standard practice, the kilohertz signal rate is written next to its corresponding data transfer rate kilobits/s or kbits/s in HD Radio documentation. While HD Radio does allow for an all-digital mode, this system currently is used by some AM and FM radio stations to simulcast both digital and analog audio within the same channel (a hybridized digital-analog signal) as well as to add new FM channels and text information. Although HD Radio broadcasting's content is currently subscription-free, listeners must purchase new receivers in order to receive the digital portion of the signal. As of May 2009, there were more stations in the world on the air with HD Radio technology than any other digital radio technology. More than 1,900 stations covering approximately 84% of the United States are broadcasting with this technology, and more than 1,000 HD2 and HD3 multicast channels are on the air. According to iBiquity's website, the "HD" is simply a brand name and has no meaning. There is no connection with high-definition television (HDTV), although like HDTV the HD Radio specification provides enhanced capabilities over the old analog format, such as 5.1 surround sound.
Radio is the transmission of signals through free space by electromagnetic waves with frequencies significantly below visible light, in the radio frequency range, from about 3 kHz to 300 GHz. These waves are called radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space.
Information, such as sound, is carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves, such as their amplitude, frequency, phase, or pulse width. When radio waves strike an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. The information in the waves can be extracted and transformed back into its original form.
The etymology of "radio" or "radiotelegraphy" reveals that it was called "wireless telegraphy," which was shortened to "wireless" in Britain. The prefix radio- in the sense of wireless transmission, was first recorded in the word radioconductor, a description provided by the French physicist Édouard Branly in 1897. It is based on the verb to radiate (in Latin "radius" means "spoke of a wheel, beam of light, ray").
I feel the pressure im watchin some people press up on people that they're impressed wit cause they consider them precious. they'll do watever man just to get in their pressence but only if they could see when their poppin antidepressants. thats hard to see when the popparzi and press impress on us the whole perspective that all their earthly possesions can fully satisfy just cause it brings them pleasure, but that's a lie from the pit just to keep your eyes on the present. might i present to you this christ wants to give you a gift but your ingore him storrin up earthly treasure plus worthless fabrics the earth is passin away and everything that you purchase is like the grass that we graze. you know it witherin wether or not you want it to but you live like it wont like you'll think you'll always be 22. when you really wont please dont wait till your fully grown God wants to envade your life now this earth is not really home.
When I was only 17 I thought I knew it all
But little did I know that I was headed for a fall
Daddy tried to tell me, boy you wanna be a man
Gotta know when to walk and when to make a stand
Gotta be hard like a rock and roll like a rollin' stone
Hit it boys...yeah...that's right
Show up two minutes late for my dead end job
Got a boss who's on the take and I think I'm being
robbed
Layin' down the law to me like Moses on the hill
I don't mind tellin' you, I think I've had my fill
I don't have to take it
I don't have to take it from you, oh no no

Roll like a rollin' stone
I said I'm gonna be hard like a rock
Roll like a rollin' stone, yeah
Headin' out early, thought I'd put up with the worst
Lord I shoulda known better, shoulda called home first
What did I see when I opened up the door
My baby and another man doin' it on the floor
I ain't gonna take it
I ain't gonna take it from you, even if you want me to
I ain't gonna take it
I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna be hard like a rock
Roll like a rollin' stone

When I was only 17 I got some good advice
If you think you know it all boy, you best be thinkin'

Gonna drink from the well, till the river runs dry
Reach for the stars till the day that I die
And when I'm lookin' for fun
I spent my time, on the lonely man's line
Broken hearts, pick `em up for a dime
I don't wanna pay those dues no more, no
Too many faces, tattered and torn
I gotta have a good strong woman
She's gotta know how to heat it up
When my motor runs cold
When life comes around
Makes you bleed from the nose
My head's in a bottle
Got a heart full of need
I need a love shuffle
When the weight of the world
Brings me down to my knees
Baby bring it on (bring it on)
Love shuffle with me
Like a true believer, with a book in my hand
A small town preacher, on a one night stand
A bad boy willin', hungry and blind
Too many women, too many times
Now what this boy needs, is an out and out woman
She's gotta know, she's gotta know, know how to heat it
When my motor runs cold
My head's in a bottle
Got a heart full of need
I need a love shuffle (love shuffle)
When the weight of the world
Brings me down to my knees
So, bring it on (bring it on)
My head's in a bottle

When the weight of the world
Brings me down to my knees
Won't you bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
(Love shuffle) love shuffle
When the weight of the world
Brings me down to my knees
You took the key to your heart and you hid it
Now you don't wanna open that door
We've all been cut by love before
You've done hard time baby
I'll be the first to admit it
But you don't have to let that cold wind blow
No, no...there's something we can do about it
I do my best on the answers to your questions
But I ain't gonna promise that the rain won't come
again
Let it fall like tears baby, and wash him from your
hands
Let me be the one who makes you care
Let me be the one who's always there for you
And when you feel love's burn with no concern
And you want to just turn and walk away
Let me be the one who makes you stay
I wanna be the one
Gotta be the one
You thought you couldn't let go but you did it
And you don't wanna hurt no more
You won the fight, don't lose the war
Take those sad blue eyes and those dark grey skies
And get rid of it
Baby, I ain't him, hear me knockin'...ooh yeah
Open up that heart and let me walk right in
I do my best on the answers to your questions
But I ain't gonna promise that the rain won't come
again
Just let it wash away his sins
Let me be the one who makes you care
Let me be the one who's always there for you
And when you feel love's burn with no concern
And you want to just turn and walk away
Let me be the one
Baby, let me be the one
He stole your heart
He's been tried and convicted
Now you're blindfolded baby
With your last cigarette
You're too hard on yourself
You've just been neglected
Try and give a little love girl and see what you get
I do my best on the answers to your questions
But I ain't gonna promise that the rain won't come
again
But I'll dry your tears if you open up and let me in
(Let me be the one)...ahhh
Won't you open up your heart to me baby
Ooh yeah, to let me in, to let me in
(Let me be the one)...ahhh
Don't you turn and walk away, yeah
Just let me be the one who makes you stay
Hey baby, I'm aware of the way you feel
Caught between a rock and a raw deal
I know it makes you wanna turn and run
That ain't no solution
Hey mama, it's so cold up against the wall
Old lover's cut has left a dark scar
No bleedin' by the saber or the pin
Our love is the reason for livin'
It's a chance of a lifetime
And we may never get it back, no
Oh, oh don't run, run, run away
No, no, don't let it be a one way love
Oh, oh don't run, run, run away
No, I don't want it that way
White sister with the dime a dozen eyes
Cold mister cut you down to size
Don't you throw away the key
Be a lover - break it down - set it free
It's a chance of a lifetime
And we may never get it back, no
Oh, oh don't run, run, run away
No, no, don't let it be a one way love
Oh, oh don't run, run, run away
No, don't let it be a one way love

No, I don't want it that way
I see you run from the weight of the world
Still you smile and pretend
I see it breakin' the heart of a young girl, never
again
(Solo)
Don't take it the wrong way baby
Don't you try and run away
Oh, oh, oh
Sweet little Vikki all alone tonight
Tryin' to sit still but losin' the fight
So you drive to the corner, wavin' that cash
Man walks up, talkin' that trash
Short red dress barely covers your ass
You can wind it up and make it go so fast
Wake up late, goin' out of your head
Tryin' to get out of some bad boy's bed, no, no, no,
no, no
Vikki don't you ever sing the blues
Don't you ever let `em see you cry
I know that you're buttoned down the side
Life ain't for the slide
Sweet little Vikki
Sweet little Vikki
Dancin' your way on pins and needles
You're gonna be a star, says some video weasel
When you leave the room to powder your nose
Do you give yourself to the mirror of souls
Vikki don't you ever sing the blues
Don't you ever let `em see you cry
I know that you're buttoned down the side
Life ain't for the slide
Sweet little Vikki
Sweet little Vikki (sweet little Vikki)
Sweet little Vikki
Sweet little Vikki
(Break)
Vikki don't you ever sing the blues
Don't you ever let `em see you cry
I know that you're buttoned down the side
Life ain't for the slide
Sweet little Vikki
Sweet little Vikki
Sweet little Vikki...no, no, no, no, no
Sweet little Vikki (sweet little Vikki)
(Sweet little Vikki)

California Sally was a blonde from the valley
She drove a red Camero

To the rock and roll ghetto

The boys are goin' out of their mind
Lookin' for a good time

By the girl with the wildcat eyes
But the rain came down and washed away
Cut me down to size, but I'm doin' alright
Amen...hear me now
I ran to the well, the well was dry
The sky was pourin' rain
Washed that fire right out of your eyes
Drive this boy insane...Lord I testify
But I'm doin', doin', doin', doin', doin' alright
Doin', doin' alright
I'm doin' alright
Oh, my, my, yeah
I Go to the well but I can't pull me no water

Chasing tail like a short-chained dog
You're turning me in circles, now I'm rollin' like a
I never needed nobody, myself
But I'm strung out on you, honey
I Jump from the train but still I'm rollin' on the

I'm strung out, strung out
My heart is on the mainline

I've been your fool for the last time
I swear to God there won't be another next time
When you hold out your hand you just gotta understand

Thought I'd had about enough
To get over you and me
Then the barkeep dropped a coin
On a heartbreak melody

Like a slap right across my face

But we can't go back to that same damn place
It's all right for you to reach out

Hey rough boy, real tough
Double dare boy, nothin' you're afraid of
Knock that chip right off my shoulder
Pull the trigger down, on the run

But I would be lost
Without your ball, without your chain
Without that ball and chain

I need you so bad
Tell me the reasons why
I'm bangin' my head
Tell me the reasons why

One touch of passion, keeps me reachin' for more

Tell me why, you're makin' me hold on - hold on
Tell me why, I can never leave you alone
Just tell me why, you're makin' me hold on - so long

Don't try and make it easy
If you're gonna let me down
Baby let the hammer down
Just leave me, leave me woman
Don't let me down easy
I know you don't need me
Just take a knife and twist it in my heart
In this world, you get your share of rainy days
Girl, I won't be your slave
You cold hearted woman

Suitcase bounces like a ball
I tear your picture off the wall
I won't be cryin', no...listen to me
If you gonna let me down
Don't try and make it easy, easy woman
Don't let me down easy
I know you don't need me
Just take a knife and twist inside my heart

It won't work on a man like me
If it's over now, just bring your hammer down
Bring it down
Oh dear Lord, have mercy on my soul
I never meant to be so cold, cold, cold
Let it just once
When that fire burns my heart
Let it be from love and not anger
